quite we alone know about ourselves

Focus on improvement not on assessments. Enough God knows your good, other people don't need to know. Will always be less ourselves when in the presence of humans. But not for those who accept us as we are.
Then remember the message of Sayyidina Ali bin Abi Talib :
"Don't explain about yourself to anyone, because its like you don't need it and who hate you don't believe it" .
